Summary note

Third or fourth part of an elegant copy of the Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī. According to the numbering of the quires and to the colophon (fol. 141a), this is Part or Vol. 3 of a set. However, the colophon is corrected into Vol. 4, and the title on the tail of the text block indicates Part 5 (probably from a note at the end of the text to the effect that this is the end of Juzʾ 45 out of 60). The copy contains the text from the end of Kitāb Faḍāʾil al-Ṣaḥābah (with Bāb Mabʻath al-Nabī"), to the beginning of Kitāb al-ʻAqīqah (starts on fol. 140a).
